Murder over Martinis

Auntie KiKi here and the weather’s changing here in Savannah
and I got to tell you I am so ready for it. August around here is the pits, the
weather so hot and humid it melts the white clean off the rice.

So to celebrate
last night I decided to pour myself a martini...then again I’m always pouring a
martini for one reason on another...and bake up a fine pie. I never met a
situation that a two-olive martini or a fine pie didn’t make better.

Fact is that’s how Reagan and I figure out a lot of whodunit
situations. We sit on Reagan’s front porch pour out a martini and talk things
over. Most of the time we have BW...that’s Reagan’s pup Bruce Willis...right
there between us taking a nice snooze or begging for a nibble of pie that I
just might bring along to share.

Mix all the filling
ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Add the filling to the partially
baked pie crust (you can add a few of those pecans on top if you have a mind
to) and bake at 325°F (170°C, Gas Mark 3) for another 40 minutes.

Yield: Makes one 9-inch pie

Sweaters
and Scarves Martini

2 oz Grey Goose Vodka

1 pinch of Fresh Ginger

1 Fresh Green Apple

1 T Lime Juice

Muddle ginger and two
apple slices. Add to vodka and lime juice. Pour over ice, shake, strain and
pour into a glass. Top it up with dash of ginger ale and apple slice.
